Stylius, did you recognized that almost everything what you use it’s depending on oil? Included those things what you can not even imagine. Leave the obvious things now like car, buses, or molotov cocktails. Lets talk about the “hidden stuff” Food. Agriculture use more oil than what you can imagine. Not only because they drive all the machines, but for example the pesticedes are made from kerosene or petroleum, most of the fertilizers as well (or natural gas, but exploiting the natural gas you need a lots of oil). Then there is the transport, thats why you can eat strawberry in wintertime and thats why you can find food from the other side of the world in every shops around your neighborhood. Fishing, stock-raising, all the basic needs are depending on this bloody black stuff. And there is no such a thing we can replace it. And if you think the planet will run out from crude, you are also wrong. There will be, just simply will not worth it anymore to dig for it, and transport it, because the invested energy and the energy what you get from it will be in serious deficit. Its not about the money, its about the energy. When the crude age was began, the invested energy and what you got was pretty good. Look how did it’s changed today.
Does not matter how much you get for it, forget the money now, its out of the question in this aspect. The situation is like this. If we are living just beside the desert, we are hungry, we are able to pay any money to get food, because we need energy, does not matter if we know that there is fat elephant horde deeply inside the desert, because we need food to walk there, hunt them down, and bring back home. In the beginning it was easy the elephants just lived next to our village. But day by day it was more difficult to get them. And soon this porblem will blow up my friend, because people always have to eat. Anyway… i know why so difficult to accept this fact.

For people who are involved with spiritual practice, this time span is very important. For those who think of life as some sort of a who-will-live-longer-and-wealthier contest, it’s not that relevant. Again, the end of the world has nothing to do with end of the planet or universe. It’s a semantic issue. And being fearful is the exact opposite behavior of the benefits of this time span.

People who have accepted the belief that consciousness derives from matter and not the other way around, will have a hard time understanding it though. If one wants, one will be able to get all the pieces of the puzzle. Otherwise, it’s speculations with either limited knowledge, or believing on blind faith.

Which is fine of course, to each their own – the important thing is to accept each other for who we are and enjoy our differences . This is why it’s called universe (diversity in the one).

“The Mayans didn’t manage to predict the end of their society, so why would we think they’re right about us?”

Mayans accurately calculated celestial cycles, like the rotation of the moon around the earth, the rotation of the earth around the sun, and the movement of Venus and then the Great Cycle which happens every 5125 years. Western world has dismissed that nothing will happen, but the facts are an ancient culture was able to have advanced knowledge of celestial movements, the equinoxes, advanced knowledge of stone cutting (which we don’t know how they did it), and knew the geometry of the earth and cardinal points, in a time when the western world still thought the earth was flat. They are not fortune tellers who predict social events, they are known as the keepers of time, who track the movement of celestial bodies and the solar cycle of our sun – which they’ve already recorded completing 4 times, and we now entering into the 5th cycle. Like CMT explains, it’s nothing to do with the material universe and everything to do with cosmic consciousness. Our bodies and mind are electrical biochemical computers, the universe is electric and our sun and celestial cycles are all related to consciousness. All things bound together, all things connect.

The wheel to them would be primitive as they could travel through dimensions and manipulate reality. The reason why we don’t know this, or its not in the history books, is because those who do know, don’t want the general population to know.. that’s why ancient mysteries stay as ancient mysteries.
